| Abstract: | Unlike those of the wild-type strain, proheterocysts of the Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 hetC strain keep dividing. ftsZ, the most critical cell division gene, is up-regulated in hetC proheterocysts. Heterocyst differentiation genes hglD, hglE, patB, nifB, and xisA are no longer expressed in the hetC mutant. hetC also regulates the expression of patA, a pattern formation gene. |
